Hodara Real Estate Group has been a valuable stepping stone for college students since opening in January 2009. Our agents are passionate and excited people that are dedicated to building experience, reputation, and providing the very best service to our clients. Our business is completely student-owned and operated and we welcome any students with a passion to learn and get ahead, which has created a precedent of innovation and excellence. Everyday I set out to excite fellow students to get involved and inspire them to push themselves to shape their own futures. It is my hope that their experience with HREG will provide them with the skills, confidence, and resources they need to pursue their ideal careers. In our first year of operation, I have used personal equity to build a successful rental agency, a residential and investment sales team, a property management company with a multi-million dollar portfolio, and a real estate licensing academy. We believe strongly in giving back and have donated thousands of dollars to One Year for Cancer. Our journey has just begun and we will not be satisfied until we have truly changed the image of real estate professionals.

Graduating Agent Spotlight

James Starkey, Boston U 2010
HREG’s first graduating agent is James Starkey. James will be working at Price Waterhouse Coopers starting September 2010.
“Working at HREG helped me to hone the interpersonal skills I needed in dealing with co-workers and clients during my interviews and summer internship at PricewaterhouseCoopers. Knowing how to communicate effectively with people is an important skill in public accounting, and really, for any industry. While working at HREG my success was dependent on my ability to listen to clients needs and deliver to them a suitable apartment. I am confident that this experience was paramount in my understanding of effective communication, and I was able to put that skill to use in my summer work environment. I always highlighted HREG during interviews and received extremely positive responses to it.” – James Starkey
